AI-Driven Compromise Assessment & Threat Hunting
Find Adversaries Already Inside Before They Find What They Came For
Even the most robust security stack can't guarantee complete protection. Adversaries dwell in environments for an average of 200+ days before detection — and the longer they stay, the deeper the damage. Unknown vulnerabilities, dormant footholds, and undetected lateral movement can silently compromise your systems, putting your data, customers, and reputation at risk.
Our Compromise Assessment service provides a deep, AI-augmented investigation of your IT environment to identify and eliminate hidden threats before they cause significant damage. We combine experienced threat hunters with machine learning models that surface behavioral anomalies and lateral movement patterns no rules-based tool will catch.
Compromise Assessments are particularly important after a suspected or confirmed security incident to ensure complete eradication and identify lingering threats. They are also high-value during mergers and acquisitions, after significant infrastructure changes, when there's concern about insider activity or unauthorized access, or as a periodic assurance check on your detection capability.
Our Tailored Approach Includes:
AI-Driven Threat
Hunting & Log Analysis
-
Hypothesis-driven hunts mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, focused on the TTPs most relevant to your industry and threat profile
-
ML-powered behavioral analytics that surface anomalous user, host, and network activity invisible to signature-based detection
-
LLM-assisted log correlation across SIEM, EDR, identity, and cloud telemetry, collapsing days of analyst review into hours
-
Active search for indicators of compromise (IOCs) and indicators of attack (IOAs) across historical data, not just live streams
Endpoint &
Network Forensics
-
Endpoint forensic analysis across EDR, antivirus, and host artifacts to detect persistence mechanisms, malware, and unauthorized tooling
-
Network traffic analysis covering firewalls, IDS/IPS, DNS, and east-west segmentation to identify command-and-control, exfiltration channels, and lateral movement
-
AI-assisted detection of living-off-the-land techniques and encrypted-traffic anomalies that evade traditional signatures
-
Cloud workload and SaaS audit-log review for token theft, OAuth abuse, and identity-based attacks​
Exposure & Data
Exfiltration Review
-
Targeted vulnerability and misconfiguration analysis focused on what attackers would actually exploit, not generic CVE lists
-
Data loss prevention review covering channels (email, cloud sync, USB, web upload) and identifying unauthorized data movement
-
Identity and access posture review for stale credentials, privilege creep, and dormant accounts that adversaries weaponize
-
AI-assisted prioritization that links exposure findings to active threat-hunting hypotheses
Findings, Reporting & Remediation Roadmap
-
Executive-ready report covering findings, evidence, business impact, and prioritized remediation
-
Technical appendix with full IOC/IOA inventory, attack-chain reconstruction, and tool-specific tuning recommendations
-
Remediation roadmap distinguishing immediate containment, short-term hardening, and long-term detection improvements
-
Optional retest and validation engagement to confirm eradication and measure detection-capability uplift
Benefits
Detect What Your Tools Missed
AI-augmented behavioral analytics and human threat hunters surface adversary activity that signature-based tools, EDR, and SIEM rules don't catch, including living-off-the-land attacks, identity-based intrusions, and slow-burn data theft.
Reduce Dwell Time From Months to Days
Industry average attacker dwell time exceeds 200 days. A targeted compromise assessment compresses that timeline by orders of magnitude, dramatically reducing the blast radius of any active intrusion.
Confidence After Incidents, M&A, or Major Change
Whether you're closing out an incident, acquiring a company with an unknown security posture, or onboarding a new business unit, a compromise assessment provides defensible assurance that your environment is clean.
Detection Capability That Improves From the Engagement
Every finding becomes a tuning input for your SIEM, EDR, and SOAR. You don't just learn what's there today, you build the detection muscle to catch what comes next.
Resources and Insights
The Average Adversary Has Been Inside for Six Months. How Long Has Yours?
Most organizations don't know they're compromised until a customer, regulator, or extortion email tells them.
TBDCyber's compromise assessments combine experienced threat hunters with AI-driven behavioral analytics to find adversaries already inside and provide you with the evidence, eradication plan, and detection improvements to ensure they don't come back.
